I found some of the daywear (including the red dress and the acid yellow jacket and blush tulle skirt above) quite beautiful and two of the ballgowns in particular – the baby pink dress with an intricately folded bodice and high front opening that revealed the model’s undergarments, and the gown in which the voluminous, swirling skirt seemed to be held up by black suspenders – amazingly beautiful and accomplished.

I liked the presentation of the show (with the obvious presence of the undergarments), given that Galliano chose to show in the Dior salon. I didn’t think it was sleazy or sordid, but was intended to give the impression of Dior couture clients casually parading around the salon, partially undressed, as they tried on their beautiful and fantastical garments. And what gorgeous clothes these were.

i love this collection but it doesnt really seem like the typical dior couture collection. personally i think this collection has dita written all over it! i absolutely LOVE the shoes though *droooooooools*

I actually think this was a decent idea, to show the skirts and jackets as separates, because these pieces really are the center of any stunning outfit; putting them together would just be too much. When presented like this, it’s easy for different styles to all think “I could really wear that with ___”.
